We have all the other manuals so why not the one for the SE50?

Make sure your air filter is clean and set your air screw like I have stated in other posts. That may take care of the bogging problem. I have a makeshift airfilter on it now that consists of a piece of large cell foam zip tied over the opening. I'll check the set screw as you suggest. The only one...

Well, I rode it around the block and it ran great for a few minutes, then started acting like it was running out of fuel and then died all together. Now it is not getting spark. Ugh, I hate electrical problems. I'm such an idiot. It did run out of gas. I just forgot to turn the switch to run after ...

I have cleaned the carb, it is getting spark, the petcock is flowing fuel when its being cranked. Its driving me crazy, I want a reliable to...
